| About Power of County |
The Power of County brings the success and failures of turn of the century boomtowns into the forefront of their music. Highly reminiscent of days gone by with lyrics that reflect chaos, excess, lust and murder mixed with hard hitting rock n roll that is guaranteed to make any spectator want to buy a horse and start brandishing a six shooter.
During the summer of O7, they successfully supported Jim Goad in opening for the national act Hank Williams III. Based out of Portland, Oregon the Power of County has been lauded by regional press as punk rock cowboys on a mission to bring Western back to Country.
P.O.C.'s new, third full length album "See You in Rock 'n' Roll Heaven" on the Union Records pays homage to the recently departed icons.
Reviews: "Power of County have ...produced as fine an album of ass whuppin’ country rock as I’ve heard in a long time. In less than 30 minutes this album covers all the bases with frantic country rockers and booze soaked ballads. Death, prison and greed all figure." Paul Kerr, Americana UK
"(T)his is an exceptional in ya face take no prisoners Country album full of the licks and kicks that most contemporary Country music lacks. It is absolutely ornery with tobacco spitting arrangements with great tempo changes that call out for the listener to keep up. How could you not like this album, it calls out for a party, so pass the bottle of whiskey and lets dance! You have won us over with this cd, yes definitely impressed us all." Peter Merritt, Acid Country PBS Australia
